CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FENDER GUITAR Your New Fender Guitar is precision made to give you many years of satisfaction. A few simple maintenance procedures will help keep your instrument playing like new. Keep Your Fender Clean: Dirt, dust, skin oils, perspiration, smoke, and even smog can do nothing but harm to your instrument. Regular cleaning and polishing will help your guitar look and play its best. Use Fender Guitar Polish on all glossy wood surfaces. Metal parts should be wiped clean with a soft cloth. Avoid Climatic Extremes: Extreme heat, cold, dryness, or humidity should be avoided. Never leave your guitar in an automobile during hot or cold weather. Never leave your guitar near a radiator or other heat source. Allow a cold instrument to warm gradually before opening its case. If exposure to temperature extremes is unavoidable, as during shipping, string tension should be reduced to avoid possible damage. Keep Your Fender in its Case: When not in use, always store your Fender guitar in its hard-shell case. This gives the best available protection against accidental damage. Change Your Strings Often: Dirty, corroded, or worn strings cause loss of sustain, loss of treble frequencies, and faulty intonation. To keep your instrument sounding new, change the strings often. Always use Fender Super Bullets.
